- [Narrator] Hey, Psych2Goers,

welcome back to another video.

Thank you all so much for the love and support

that you've given us,

enabling us to make yet another exploration

into everyday psychology.

So, let's begin.

They like me, they like me not.

They like me, they like me not.

Does it feel as if you're plucking petals

trying to decipher whether someone likes you?

Or do they avoid you?

Or are you overthinking it?

You may think someone can't stand you

and that may not be the case at all.

It can be hard to figure out

someone's true thoughts about you

but there are some subtle signs that you can pick up on

to get to the bottom of it.

Whether it be romantic or just general feelings about you.

Here are six signs a person likes you,

even if you don't think so.

Number one, they try to get close to you.

You must've thought this obvious, right?

But don't be surprised because even so

it's actually quite easily missed.

Yeah, truly.

Have you ever noticed anyone always around you,

perhaps out of the corner of your eye,

you always see the same person.

You may not think much about it

but people try to get physically closer

to the people that they like.

Whether it be by moving objects separating you two

such as a plate or a pillow,

or taking the same walking route as you.

People try to get close to you in many ways.

After all, if someone truly doesn't like you

chances are you wouldn't see them very often.

Number two, they walk beside you.

Any guesses as to why this may be a sign?

Here's the thing.

It's easier to talk to, maintain eye contact

and get physically closer to someone

when walking next to them.

So naturally people who like you

will wanna walk beside you and maintain your pace.

However, someone may also like you and walk behind you.

This means they're too shy to walk beside you

but still wanna be near you.

If they walk in front of you

they're probably more concerned with where they're going

than talking to you.

Basically someone who likes you

will try to be near you in any way they can.

Number three, their body language is open to you.

Did they tilt their head towards you,

or lean in when you were laughing

in your recent conversation with them?

Were they playing with their hair

while talking to you?

In a conversation, body language is everything.

Seeing as most people don't know how to control it,

it subconsciously gives away how a lot of people feel

more specifically the way people point their feet

is a big indicator.

If they're pointing at you,

it probably means

they're subconsciously wanting your attention.

The feet are the first things that move

when going somewhere.

So the direction they're facing

also hints at where the person would like to be.

If they're facing you,

the person may be wanting to get closer to you

which is a big sign they like you.

Similarly, if someone has their hands on their hips

exposing their stomach to you

it's a good sign that they're open to you.

As overlooked as body language is

it can tell you a lot

about whether someone likes you.

Number four, they sit up straight around you.

Did you know someone sitting up straight around you

isn't necessarily a sign of them

being on edge and uncomfortable?

It can also mean they're trying to look their best

in front of you.

When sitting up straight,

you show off all your strong features and look a bit taller.

So people often set up straight

around people who they want to impress.

Therefore, when someone sits up straight,

they may look rigid

and like they're trying to put distance between you two

but they may be simply trying to impress you.

Number five, they blink less around you.

Sounds bizarre, right?

But hear this out.

Your blinking rate actually does say a decent amount

about how you're feeling.

According to a study, cited by Psychology Today,

people tend to blink more when they're anxious.

Blinking also serves as a way

to subconsciously block out things we don't like.

So if a person blinks less around you

chances are it's a good sign they like you.

It's their subconscious way

of trying not to miss anything about you.

All eyes on you, watch out.

And number six, they raise their eyebrows when greeting you.

What's a weird thing you've noticed about people being happy

and their eyebrows?

Hint, it has something to do with going up.

People tend to raise their eyebrows

when they're happy and excited.

So you often subconsciously raise your eyebrows

when you're happy to see someone.

It's easy to overlook

and if someone doesn't raise their eyebrows around you

it doesn't mean that they hate you.

However, it is a sign that they like you,

if they always raise their eyebrows and smile at you

it's never easy guessing others' true feelings about you.

It's always a flip-flop

between considering you're overthinking

or perhaps they do actually like you.

You are not alone in this struggle for sure.

Almost everyone has spent many a nights

staying up late and replaying

little interactions and scenarios.

But the important thing to remember

is that whether someone likes you or not is not your fault.

What matters most is that you love yourself.

Do you have anyone in mind right now?

If not, do you think these signs will help you

in the future?
